Quilts in Progress

I am currently working on two twin quilts for the girls using Heather Ross's Mendocino mermaid line. I am also making a quilt for myself inspired by a ribbon quilt which used all silk hair ribbons for its fabric.  I made a trip to the Ribbonerie on Sacramento in the City (you must visit this shop if you haven't already discovered what a wonderful place it is!) to pick up some ribbons, but decided in the end to use these fantastic taffeta scraps I had instead. 

This is the quilt so far. It took so many hours just to get to this point. Who knows when I'll finish!

New Heather Ross Mendocino Line

My fabric arrived today! Its the newest line from designer Heather Ross. Its called Mendocino and comes in many color ways, but I liked the fuchsia, curry and plum on white best. I am making two twin quilts (one for each girl) for the new house. The image above is just the fabric straight from the mail; its not the layout of the quilt. I won't have them finished by move in, but with my new studio space I should be able to make them fairly quickly! I love Ross' sketchy style and the cotton poplin has such a richness to it. Mila is 3 and we call her the Mermaid Princess (Nadia is the Forest Fairy Princess and this whole thing started after Aaron dubbed me the Pirate Princess). She will especially like the mermaids!

Baby Shower

Quilt made for friend Kaley's soon to be arriving baby boy, Lucca.
I took a motif from the fabric and Gocco printed the elephant onto the woodgrain fabric.


Plus, I love the cupcakes made for her shower by her friend Annie...some babies were drowning in the frosting. Disturbing and delightful all in one tasty bite!
